    thanks for the input Ken. 1.) Code for garages used to be the case here but has changed. 2.) I am going up 18" so the ramp I have in my garage to "code" would take up one whole side. :mad: So... raising the floor is easier just costly... but its covered! 3.) the lift I am considering is at the...

    Thanks for the reply. The 4'0" dimension was changed a little since the counter top next to the toilet is abut 24" wider. But the basis for your question is related to code for grab handles and since grab handles are not necessary for my personal needs we are using the space in a different...

    Got the quote back from my builder. Sticker SHOCK! :eek: :yikes::scared:It is WELL over six digits :dunno: About twice the cost of what I expected. We're planning for a worst case cost but that seems a little over the top to me! Anyway... This may have to be done in multi-stages. I'm meeting...

    Thanks MUCH for your comments Bill. I believe I addressed your concerns below. Either way, let me know your thoughts. Yes, I cannot move that door forward as my lot line is too close. Even if I could it would make the front of the house / garage look a little odd. Yes, the doors and headers...

    Attached is a picture of the present state. It may look like a ton of room for someone to WALK around in there but for a dude in a wheelchair it is far from enough. The lift should help me get around instead of crawling around on the ground but that will take up some room too. I also included...
